Description
Many employers are focusing hard on diversifying their talent pools at the moment. It has been encouraging to bring so many stories to the podcast about employers working to connect with historically marginalized groups and embracing more open approaches to hiring. However, diverse hiring is pointless without addressing equity and inclusion at a systemic level within organizations.
My guests this week are Dr Tina Opie and Dr Beth Livingston, authors of the soon to be published book "Shared Sisterhood". Share Sisterhood embodies a practical methodology that gives employees a starting point with diversity, equity, and inclusion. It inspires employees to explore their personal assumptions, build connections and take collective action.
In the interview, we discuss:
Shared Sisterhood as a radically optimistic philosophy
Power dominant and historically marginalized groups
Addressing equity at a systemic level
Building authentic connections with people who are different to you
Where to start with DE&I
Dig, Bridge and Collective Action
The difference between equality and equity
Metrics and accountability
Ally versus Accomplise versus Co-Conspirator
